Wer Not??As to-morrow will be an |
occasion of unusual interest in thiB city,
and a large number of employees of all

companies, we respectfully suggest to all
employers that the day be made a grand
holiday, by the suspension of all busi?
ness, and a general turn-out to witness
and participate in the firemen's tourna?
ment. It will be a concession which
will meet the hearty appreciation of em?
ployees in general, and will afford the
firemen the opportunity of devoting the
day to the entertainment of their guests
from neighboring cities. The Circuit
Court has led the way, and why not all
business men follow suit?

Been in the British State paper office the

New Yobk, May 4. ?Tho Star, pub?
lished by Joe Howard, an unqualified
advocate of Mr. Becoher, publishes the
following as the substance of Mrs.
Til ton's communication to Judge Neil
son :
'Sir: By the law's peculiar phrase, I
am debarred from appearing before you
us a witness, because my husband seeks
fortune at the price of my dishonor.
I have a mother and several children.
I am a woman, with no legacy to leave
these children suvc a spotless name.
Judgo for yourself, then, whether I can
tamely submit to the taunting lies of
him who has sworn to love and cherish
me, and whose selfish infamies have
torn mo from hearth and home, blasted
my fair fame, and turned me penniless
upon the charity of friends. I demand
to be heard by tho jury to whom has
been told the falseoood of my protector.
Surely, if he can address the jury for
days, aided by cunning and unscrupu?
lous counsel, that be may ruin my repu?
tation, cast obloquy and reproach upon
j my name, and make mo the by-word
and scorn of all the world, I, too, have a
right to be heard. I, too, have a tab- to
tell. I, too, have a revelation to make.
I Untanght by counsel, unaided by friends,
without the pecuniary stimulant of ad ey?
ing companions, I come alone, and stand
pleadi'g at the bar for justice. I ask
no me. ;y; I seek no favor. I simply
ask that a wronged wife and an injured
woman may be permitted to meet the
calumnies of a perjured man and faith?
less husband. Midnight is daylight
when contrasted with his treaohery; the
father of lies is an angel of purity when
contrasted with this monumental hypo
orito. I seek no sensation; I crave no
publicity; but for my sake, for my chil?
dren's sake, and for the sako of woman?
hood throughout the world, I respeot
fully ask the precious boon of self-de?
fence against the beastly onslaught of a
brutal husband."
It is not behoved that the above is the
oxact tenor of the document, though it
may be the spirit of it.
Mr, Howard, editor of tho Star, says
the document published in his paper
this morning, is neither the text nor the
nature of Mrs. Til ton's communication
to Judge Neilson; consequently the cha?
racter of the paper remains a mystery
yet
Savannas, May 3.? Last night, about
dusk, a negro riot occurred at Darien, in

The Fusiuxa Centennial.?The cele?
bration of the centennial of th* German
Fusiliers, yesterday, was all that, heart
could desire. Thirteen companies. on
parade commemorated one of the earliest
achievements in the struggle for inde?
pendence which the "Old Thirteen'' be?
gan and won. It waa a gala day in espe?
cial honor of the Germans; but as they
and theirs, on a hundred fields, have
shed their blood, not as Germans, bat as
Americans, so the whole people of
Charleston joined with them in their fes?
tivities, and made May 3, 1876, a day
worthy to bo lovingly remembered, . The
boom of artillery mingled with the mel?
low chimes of St Michael's bells. Sid*
by side floated the flags of the Cnian
and of Eutaw, of Germany and the Pal?
metto State. Thought, leaning back 10P
years, made all Americana kin; and leap?
ing forward yet a little while, dwelt with
gladness on the swift-coming time when
all that is best and most honorable in
our past shall shine as a living light in
the eyes of the people of the Unitod
J States, and all that is bitter and. h*xran
in the past of North and South, shall b*
put away and forgotten. . ..
